site redesign

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Tokyo, 2008.03.30

It seems that every six to eighteen months, I redesign this website from scratch for one reason or another. In mid 2007, it wasn't so much a redesign as a wholesale reconstruction, following the catastrophic loss of the content database that drives the site (it seems that my then host was incapable of running the MySQL service properly).

This time, I've decided that the ~400-500 page site that's currently up (though much of it remains unnavigable) is irrelevant, outdated or poorly written. So I'm taking it offline, and reorganizing the site along some basic concepts. There will be only five sections, to keep the navigation system reasonable, and each section will only consist of photo collections and articles that I've revised or edited.

The new sections will be:

-articles

-adventures

-photos

-creations

-about me
